I downloaded the game fast and started it up, but now it’s on the loading screen and hasn’t moved past 7% in a while. It says “VFS Activating Packages”. Anyone else stuck on this loading screen? I have a 14900kf CPU too so it’s usually pretty quick with loading…

Look at the solution on my “Update #2” above, see if it works for you! Mine is flawless now.
